“We will undertake a survey of earth-shaping practices, beginning with small-scale
domestic compost and expanding to include broad-acre soil building, infrastructure
free irrigation and rain catchment, and other broad acre water conservation works.
A study of civilian conservation corps field drain and tile methods, wadi systems,
traditional methods of water handling such as Hawaii’s menehune channels, Australian
wadies, the now popular bioswale, Yeoman’s keyline plowing, and other durable, culturally
modified, un-irrigated by fully hydrated landscapes will inform appropriate application of
such practices on the host site.” DD
